It's not really clear what you are proposing, nor what problem you are
trying to solve. Are you suggesting that either
1. <title>...</title> and <meta name="title" content="..."> be treated
equivalently, and possibly that <title> should be made obsolete in
favour of the meta element title?
2. That when <title> is encountered, the parser should convert it to
<meta name="title" content="...">, and thus insert a META element
into the DOM?
3. Something else entirely?
If you meant option #1, then it's not clear what problem that would
solve, and it would also introduce unnecessary complexity with, e.g.,
having to deal with conflicts in the case that both were specified.
If you meant option #2, then that seems like it would be a nightmare to
implement, causing all kinds of compatibility issues, while also not
solving any clear problem.
If you meant something else, then please more clearly elaborate.
